Another new build on a SAB carbon frame

My last build was a flat-bar road bike with Deore running gear for mucking about on, but I was so impressed with the SAB frame that I bought another one to build up as a full road bike.
The frame is 55cm square and is set up for me in the photo's. I am 5'10" with a 31" inside leg. Full SAB carbon frame, Felt carbon forks, RS20 wheels, Prolite bars, Spoon saddle and then a full Tiagra groupset with the exception of 105 shifters and bottom bracket.
Only had the one 3 mile ride today to get the gears set up and seat/bars adjusted but rode really, really nicely.
Not sure if I will keep it for a season or sell on as the bike count is up to six now..... :shock:
All parts are new except the wheels which only have a couple of hundred miles in them and are as good as new. Total cost came in just over £620 thanks to the ridiculous £99 frame price!
It certainly looks the dogs (in my humble opinion....)
And my previous SAB build....

That green frame is ridiculously cool. So smart.

Looks great - well proportioned and subtley styled. With limited seat post showing, could you have gone for next size down and longer stem ?All the gear, but no idea...0

Fair point on the frame size, I would normally ride a 53/54 but with the SAB frames it is run-out stock so you have to take what's available. I won't be keeping it long term so not too worried about the perfect fit. The greenie rides absolutely brilliantly as a flat bar. The only place you can get one is Planet X I think as they bought up all the SAB stock. Don't think there any more left, but you could always ask....0
